Not a bra but more than a crop top...?!

Dd is in a transitional phase of underwear I think and because we haven't been actually looking round the shops I could do with some tips please.

She's not in need of the support of a bra but thin cotton crop tops don't give the coverage that she would like. She almost needs something v lightly padded but not moulded if that makes sense?

She's perfectly happy with the crop top/sports bra type design. Any ideas of good places to look?

supermarket
maybe get a couple of different styles and let her try out and then buy what she prefers.

Primark, M&S, Matalan do some fantastic ones, even Amazon do some really good sports bras with very light padding, I got a 3 pack for around £10 on Amazon and they're super comfortable, supportive and fit well.

Sainsbury's have a brilliant range

As PP - Hollister would probably be a good choice.

Matalan does non wired bra/crop top style with slight padding.

For a little more support GymShark are very good, though pricey if she's likely to grow out of them quickly.

I also like OddBalls, but you may need to be careful about patterns showing through school shirts Wink

I bought my tween DD the Hollister bra/crop tops off the back of this thread. She loves them. A step up from the crop tops she’s been wearing but not quite a bra.

Boohoo bralets, they come in a pack of three.

I’ve ditched wired underwear and wear nothing else now as they’re so comfy!
